15.) Nudge - Thaler and Sunstein 4 weeks ago

Four and a half stars. I’m a libertarian, still not sure how I feel about libertarian paternalism.

14.) Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand 4 weeks ago

Loved it. 4 3/4 stars. Deducting 1/4 of a star for the horribly inconcise, ridiculously long John Galt speech (60 pages) and the fact that the book is 1000+ pages long.

13.) The Bridge to Humanity by Walter Goldschmit 4 weeks ago

Meh. Assigned reading for class. Burned through 150 pages in four days. Would have been faster but the subject matter was kinda dull. Decent chapter on linguistics but there are many better books written on the subject. A very lazy treatment of the subject matter for someone who otherwise would not seek out better.
